P is for Pedrera




La Pedrera (  meaning  'The Quarry' )  aka Casa Mila  in Barcelona is one of  the main Gaudi residential buildings and a  most imaginative house.  The present owner - a foundation - opened the building to visitors (selected areas, including the roof!) and has developed a big variety   of cultural exhibitions and events. In 1984, it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO. If you have been to Barcelona, you have for sure visited it !  .

  12. Before looking at your text, I thought "that looks a Gaudy - style!" :) One of my artist friends just went last year and brought some books and pics home -AMAZING! My question is what they do when something on the building needs to be repaired?
